ONE WEEK Until SkepchickCon

SkepchickCon begins one week from tonight, and we are actually dying of excitement. We hit our first fundraising goal this month, but are still aiming for our stretch goal of $2500. You still have a chance to win a custom cocktail from Anne Sauer, and one more week to snap up the amazing incentives we’ve put together.

If you’re still on the fence about joining us, we have lots of information to help you make up your mind (and make the correct decision of yes, joining us). We have experiments, crafts, a quiet coloring time, and PARTY in our Skepchick Space Lab room every day. We’ve got a wide array of panels that our speakers are sitting on, and that Skepchick is hosting. We have our classic shot at the party room, the Buzzed Aldrin. We have so many cosplays. We’ve even got a private party for our top donors.

In addition to all the amazing things happening at SkepchickCon, our partners at CONvergence have everything from COFFEE ALL THE TIME to dance parties, a masquerade, Sandboxes, signings, guests of honor, performances, and my personal favorite, boffing. Make sure you check out all the goodness and snap up a badge before Wednesday. We can’t wait to see all of you next week!
